Tuesday Night Training
Tuesday Night Training starts next week on October 22 and runs for 8 weeks (ending December 10). These practices are more intense and more structured than normal practices, and are available to fencers with competitive memberships age 12 and above. This time, the focus will be on building the stamina to fence at a high level for an entire tournament. Be sure to sign up by following this this link !
Tuesday Night Training will take place from 6:30 to 8:30pm on Tuesday evenings, and will involve a mix of conditioning, footwork, and competitive fencing. Fencers should plan to be there for the duration of the practice. The cost for the 8-week session is $100. Sign up today!
Youth Beginner Class
This is the last week to spread the word about our Youth Beginner Class! The class begins on October 26, and is open to new fencers age 9-12. The class will run for six weeks (on Saturday mornings) and give students a great introduction to the sport. You can point prospective new fencers to this link ! Be sure to share the sport you love!
Cedar Point Trip
The Cedar Point trip is next Saturday, October 26! All HoF members and families are welcome to join us at Cedar Point. You can either meet us at the park, or meet at HoF at 11:00am, and leave as a group by 11:15. Fencers 13 and up can be dropped off at the club to carpool. Younger fencers should plan to come to Cedar Point with parents. There is a sign-up sheet at HoF for those wishing to catch a ride. If any parents are willing to attend/provide transportation, you can sign up there as well! As a result of the Cedar Point trip, HoF will close at 11:00am on Saturday, October 26th!
Bring-a-Friend Tournament
There is now a sign-up sheet at the club for the November 17th Bring-a-Friend Tournament! Here's how it works: each of our participating fencers will invite a non-fencing friend to the event. Then, we'll go over some basic fencing footwork and rules before each fencer has the chance to work with their friend one-on-one. Finally, the beginners will all compete in a mini-tournament--they get to try out fencing, and you get to compete as their coach! Choose a friend and hone your coaching skills!
The Bring-a-Friend Tournament is divided into two different age categories: 9-12, and 13 and Up. The 13 and Up group will start at 1:00pm on Sunday, November 17th, and the 9-12 age group will start at 4:00pm. Make sure to sign up at the club!
